It has been a long and tiring journey, as well as an incredibly rewarding one, and Maddie and Trey Cason have finally completed the Hike4Hope! They crossed the southbound finish line on Saturday, Nov. 10 in Georgia.

The Casons, as well as all of us at GHNI, are so thankful for your support along the way. Every gift was not just a meaningful boost of confidence for our hikers, but also a significant step toward the Casons' goal to empower a village in Southeast Asia.

"We're in the Smoky Mountains. We stayed in Gatlinburg with friends to avoid the wintry mix! We could only hike 8 miles yesterday, and rested the rest of the day. Two days until our next town, Fontana Village, and that will be the end of the Smoky Mountains."
